Futuristic "Robin Hood" in the Works

While Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe are working on their version of "Robin Hood," Warner Bros and the producer behind "The Dark Knight" and "300" are setting up their own take on the classic tale.

Few plot details have been revealed about the new "Robin Hood," but it will be set in a dystopian London and center on a band of thieves whose activities restore hope to the city’s embattled population. Producers describe it as "a futuristic action adventure" that will be "both inspired by and pay homage to the legend of Robin Hood."

Jason Hall (Spread) will write the screenplay, while commercials director Nicolai Fuglsig, who pitched the project, has signed on to direct. "His stunning visual presentation blew me away," said producer Charles Roven.

Instead of a futuristic Robin Hood, I'd like to see more of a caveman-esque Robin Hood. I mean they invented the spear right? Why couldn't the first Robin Hood by a whiz a spear chucking (not a racist reference...merely a way to describe ones proficiency with throwing a spear)? Caveman Robin hood could steal mammoth meat from the good hunters and give to the ones that still finding it hard to breakout of the primate state. They could skip all the lovey dovey stuff with Maid Marion because Caveman Robin Hood would just have to beat her over the head with a club to envoke courtship.

IDK - could work, but it just seems stupid. Like what make it in the year 2055 and London lies in ruins and crime and all these high-tech weapons are what this suedo-Robin Hood and his gang are using? Been there, done that.

Or Robin could steal from some sort of communal funds overseen by retarded elected officials and give to the enterpreneurial elite. We could set the film in present day rather than in the future. I can see it now. Robin would be born on a little tropical island, go on a pigrimage to the land of his fathers, then come to the land of his mother where he convinces the masses to follow him by only saying two words. Then after gaining their undying devotion to him he can tax the hell out of them. It sounds absurd I know but I think a movie like that could actually work.
